Software Quality Assurance Lessons Learned

The lessons learned feature of the SQA Knowledge Portal is established to promote the sharing of knowledge across the DOE complex with specific emphasis on lessons learned relevant to SQA. The sharing of lessons learned can potentially reduce risk, improve efficiency, and enhance the cost effectiveness of DOE processes and operations. This is a feedback mechanism for the Quality Assurance community to use and promote continuous improvement in the application of SQA.

Site Assessments

Sites will be asked to provide lessons learned from safety software assessments as well as lessons learned from implementing other SQA requirements for posting on the SQA Knowledge Portal.
